Lies

To cheat on you would be like taking your mona lisa heart, and punching a hole right through the canvas You who, lifted my titanic anchored soul from its resting grounds You whose cheeks shone like a beacon at the end of the never ending Blue Ghost Tunnel The icy wind crept up my spine Hauntingly beautiful like Picasso's Painting..........Old man with the guitar but so eerie I was Shivering I blindly groped the dampened walls But Your bubbly Laughter echoed in my memories You whispered my name and I felt peace I want to get all tangled up in your arms so I will know what it feels like to rest upon the cumulo-nimbus clouds I want to hold your hand through the ancient city feel your heartbeat pound in my palm rhythmically Like Travis Barker on his drumset Circa Blink 182 It started to rain so you wrapped your jacket around me Your white Clash t-shirt got soaked and clung to you You kissed me. But you didn't know that your sighs were like truth serum and it was calm after the storm I had been waiting for.
